Creative Director: Simplify

I Create: Creative Director of My Life.

I didn’t write last week. And although a tragedy happened for our close friends the night prior, which you would have seen me talk a little bit about with my Instagram work or stories, that isn’t the reason I didn’t write.

‘And suddenly you know… it’s time to start something new and trust the magic of new beginnings.”

I had contemplated a shift for a while. A pivot, you could say. I’ve been here, writing something every Tuesday evening, since March of 2018. And now the time has come to change and adjust things slightly.

I didn’t write last week, on purpose. I know it’s the time now, that I can simplify some things to allow focus on my path. My purpose here is to create a life I love. Be the creative director of my own life. I’ve been both writing about it and taking steps of action to endeavour to make it happen. And the time has come now:

Less becomes more…

While I’ve been doing my blog, and my art, Internal focus has always been something I’ve been working on. And that’s where I’ve decided to simplify in one area: the blog, to still work on my art and my internal focus. What really matters is my growth and advancement. Sometimes the best decision can be to simplify and make space for other things that are most aligned. The blog will continue for now, but I can step it back. Write less. Write more selectively and intentional.

Although goals can evolve over time, we still go along on our ‘map’ on the path to our destination, or our big picture vision. I’ve got a big picture vision, and I’m heading there.

I mentioned a tragedy last week. Our friends 12 year old boy was killed by a speeding car when he was out rollerblading with his family. They called us but we couldn’t make out much of what was said on the phone so just went there. He passed away before we arrived. We supported our friends through the night. It’s unimaginable what they went through, there are no words and we are still in shock, quite honestly. We had to get through the day following, which was a Tuesday. I had already made the decision that I wouldn’t be writing that night, and I was thankful for that. We’d had too much heartache and emotions to process.

So, going forward, I’ll still be here, but will write selectively. I’m still here, directing my life creatively and with purpose.

Until next time,
